A coroner’s office in Louisiana has reportedly determined the cause of death for the United Airlines passenger who was pronounced dead following an in-flight medical emergency last Monday.

The coroner’s report appears to confirm the suspicions of fellow passengers who have since spoken out on social media as well as one passenger who spoke with Fox News.
